Male Hair Loss Treatment

At last, you have found a page where you can get good general advice about an effective male hair loss treatment. Although there is no one 'cure' for hair loss today, a host of products, treatments and diet regimes can be very helpful in dealing with or even reversing hair loss. Just remember that there are only two drugs that have been certified by the FDA for the treatment of hair loss. These drugs are minoxidil and finasteride, and are both available on a prescription basis only.

I tried it for about 3 weeks and by that time my hair got so oily that i had to use any other shampoo to clean my hair. I followed the instructions of DS Shampoo that say you should wash your hair twice,but after i got out of the shower my hair looked like if i didn't use any shampoo at all or like if i washed my hair with only water. After that, i couldn't keep using DS Shampoo to see hair growth results, instead i tried another cheap shampoo and my hair looked great with no oil.

My hair started thinning when I was 18 and I have always had a very dry scalp. I bought this along with some minoxidil to try and stop my hair from thinning. I have used Head and Shoulders for my dry scalp for years. Since I started using this I have not used the H&S once. For me it is a great shampoo that I will continue to purchase regardless of the hair growth properties. Both my wife and me have noticed that my hair does seem a little bit thicker but I dont see it growing like crazy.

This has to be the worst and most expensive shampoo that I've ever used. My hair began falling out when i started using this but i figured i would keep going since it said your hair might fall out for the first couple of weeks. Its been a little over a month now and i just finished my first bottle of revita. My hair is still falling out and if anything its gotten progressively worse. I had low to moderate hair loss before i started using this, now its high (15+ hairs fall per shower). I am giving this another chance, but i am buying the roundtop bottle to see if its any better and if my hair doesn't stop falling out then that will be my last revita purchase ever. Its not even a good shampoo, it dries up and tangles my hair and on some parts it doesn't even come off completely from the water so it feels like gel in my hair. Although i'm beginning to see patches of hair loss on my head, the shampoo is giving my hair more volume which is the only pro to it (somehow i feel its not worth the sacrifice). I will write another review when i'm done with the second one, i'm hoping it gets better.

Do not buy this product if you'd like to retain your hair! You shed hair like crazy after using this product. I purchased two bottles of this stuff, and only utilized about half of the first bottle before I ended up tossing them away. The bottles arrived leaking, just like other reviewers have noted as well. I've actually had great luck with two other shampoos, one of which is available here on Amazon - check them out - Your Crown and Glory Shampoo, and the other is L-Carnitine Shampoo by Hewley (available on Amazon). Both these products have helped with a healthy scalp, in turn growing new hairs! I've had people comment about how thick my hair is getting, and about the continued new hair growth! Stay away from the Revita, but try the others! Good luck!

I have been using this product for over one and half year with good results when I first started using it in the beginning of 2009. If I were to rate it in 2009 I would have given it 5 stars. However, based on recent purchases (past 6 months) the product consistency has varied a lot and the product has become more watery and does not stop hair loss any more... the hair have started shedding again. I will tell you that the prior product had stopped hair loss and some hair growth was also noticeable. I have been patiently waiting to see if the quality improves... but have not seen any improvement yet. Product container in 2009 had a rounded top and the packaging said "Made in USA". If I remember correctly, it was manufactured in Miami Florida. Recently the company has switched to a flat top packaging and the packaging says "Assembled in USA from imported materials". I am guessing this is the reason for poor quality. The prior consistency was thicker shampoo with reddish orange color which required a pea sized quantity that produced enough lather. The newer product is too watery and has a lighter orange color. You need two to three times the quantity to get the same amount of lather. Bottom line... the quality has deteriorated and product is not effective anymore.

Reviews

Worked on my receding hairline. I also habitually massage my head with my finger tips (blood flow), regularly drink green tea (anti-oxidants), hang up-side-down for about for about 5-10 minutes a day (blood flow), take Opti-Men Multivitamin, and use Ds Laboratories Revita Hair Growth Stimulating Shampoo. My condition before use: Before I started to use Spectral DNC and Revita Shampoo my hairline had receded around the front side of my forehead. Looking at past pictures my hair had been thinning since I was 17. I really didn't start to notice until I was 21 and didn't start to use this product until I was 22. My condition after 4 months: My hairline is nearly straight across my forehead and there are more little hairs thickening. Also I seem to go through a bottle about every 3.5 weeks. Product details: The product as of now includes a spray cap and a dropper tube. I use the spray cap until I reach the bottom in which case the dropper tube helps get the rest of it. Product use: I spray 1-2 times on a balding spot then massage into my scalp. I repeat this about 5 times then do my other balding spot the same way. I do this once after a morning shower, then again a few hours before I sleep. Other than new hair growth I do get a slight headache after about 30 minutes of applying the product which lasts for about another 30 minutes.

I'm an African-American male. I am using Spectral DNC along with Ajuven H2G hair growth capsules and the Revita DS Labortories hair shampoo since about March 2010. I've had transplants done, too many to count which should not have been done in that way. Many surguries depletes the donor area, etc. So my hair has thin areas, especially the back, and thin on top and areas where the hair grafts took. The Spectral goes on easy, not irritating. Along with the other products, my hair has gotten longer and seems fuller. Now, if you lost hair completely in areas, where the scalp is smooth, like my case, this means you've lost the hair follicles and nothing will grow. I knew this and this is true based on my using these products these past months. I would recommeded Special DNC though. I think it may be working some. But as I mentioned earlier, I'm also using two other hair produtcs also.

I was part of a 90 days hair regrowrh study for DS Labs where I voluntarily came in twice a day to have this product applied to my scalp. I have to say that this product truly works for me. I was a former Rogaine user. I'm 28 years old, male, mixed ancestry Black African, White Greek, French, who has tightly curled hair. Before the treatment I had baldness that ran from the front of my hairline to the crown of my head in a S-shaped pattern (it actually resembled an Asian dragon artwork). I had been diagnosed with sebhorrec dermatitis, which may have been the cause my initial hair loss. As I began the study, I didn't notice any growth. I was advised to keep doing the same things I usually do after each treatment with the product. So I continued my normal regimen of washing my hair with Neutrogena T Gel shampoo (to thwart off scalp flaking due to my sebhoric dermatitis), three hours after using spectral. About a month into using it I started to notice vellus hairs (baby hairs) filling in the bald areas of my scalp. Two months later, I noticed more baby hairs growing where my old hairline used to be, and the previous baby hairs were becoming terminal hairs (adult hairs). After the third month of using I noticed a substantial amount of thicker hair in the bald regions of my scalp. I'm more comfortable going out to clubs without wearing a baseball cap. Things I'd like to mention: I usually sport a low cut hairstyle, and I brush my hair straight and forward using boar bristle brushes a lot before using this product. As my hair started to grow I realized that I was actually making my hair look thinner by brushing forward. I realized this when i took a comb from my hairline backwards against the grain and saw a lot of the new growth hiding under older longer hairs. Now I brush my hair 30 degrees mirror left, which gives my hair a fuller look. I live in Miami Beach. If you have to go out into the sun after using this product, I recommend putting some sunscreen on your scalp or wearing a hat to protect the skin on your scalp, as it is now more sensitive to the sun since using this product. I also noticed that my scalp hasn't been as flaky since using Spectral DNC with TGel shampoo (it's probably the healing effects of the copper peptides at work). I currently wash my hair first in the morning, then apply my Spectral DNC, then do the same before going to bed. Product links: Neutrogena T/Gel Therapeutic Shampoo - 16.0 oz.

Did not receive the product so I can't rate it. I received a product that I didn't order instead. I have returned the product for a refund. Amazon was very punctual in arranging for the return of the product.

This stuff worked pretty good for me. I have been using it for about a month now and I can tell it made a difference in my hair as I started to see little hair growing on the upper part of my forehead.

I bought this for my husband because this seller had the best price I could find. My husband has receding lines and has been using Dercos to prevent further hair loss He has been using this product for many years now, but I cannot tell if it's really working or not. Hence, only 4 stars... I will purchase from this seller again - 5 stars here.

I wasted a lot of money (it is very expensive product) buying Dercos. After using it my hair looked shinier and healthier but that is all, did not stop any hair loss. It is only a beauty product! Have read many websites and they say the same, Dercos does NOT work. It is only good marketing to make us, consumers, spend our money. Read a little more before waste your money on this. The only FDA approved products (products tested to work) are Minoxidil (Rogaine) and Finasteride.

This product is amazing, really works, of course don't make your hair grow, it's just stop the lost and it's great. But the seller, well DON'T BELIEVE THE SHAMPOO ADD IT TO PACKAGE IT'S A LIE. THEY DIDN'T SEND THAT. SO IF YOU CAN GET IT IN SPAIN OR ANOTHER COUNTRY OR ANOTHER PLACE DO IT.

I actually don't have the answer but It is the best one to try I think. And it is the most medically recommended.

After using minoxidil for women, I disliked the greasy feel. With fine, thin hair, that's the last thing I need. This product is pleasant to use, has a fresh smell, and is NOT GREASY! I can use it, style my hair, and go to work. I could only use minoxidil at bed time, and had to wash it out the next morning. No way could I use it twice a day. Also, another plus for Amenexil is the lack of warnings of possible chest pain, rapid heartbeat, faintness, weight gain, swollon hands or feet, etc. that came with minoxidil. I want hair, not heart problems. I'm ordering my second box now, after noticing a zillion little hairs along my hairline. I never noticed them before. I'm going to use another box! Oh, and you only have to use it once a day, or at least three times a week. Last but not least, it works on the whole scalp, not just male pattern baldness(on top). Good stuff!

Excellent product for fine, breaking hair. It is very good if your hair is falling. I recomend this product; but if your hair is dry use it with a convitation of a leaving in condictioner. If not your hair when it dries will feel dry.

I have been using this product for about a month now. It has grown an inch since i've been using it day in and day out. I can tell the diffrence in the texture of my growth hair and all. Extremly good product.

this product does nothing at all just a better feeling after using it due to the syntetic electricity done bu the robber over your hair waist of time and money don't buy it

I'm a 55 year old female with thin hair &I started using the Viatek hair Pro Feb 1st.It's been a month of using it 3 times a week(very easy to do). This is what I've noticed so far: softer shiny hair,short spiky hair stand up when I comb it which was not there before so I think it's new growth.Also along my hair line is new hair.So far so good. I'll up date in 6 months to see how it's going. Happy so far!

I'm a 55 year old woman. My hair started falling out by the roots on top of my head - my part was getting wider and wider. I was horrified, to be sure. My Dr. said "Too bad, it's probably menopause related." I can't even remember where I saw this unit initially, but I bought mine on an auction site about 2 years ago. Who knows exactly why my hair grew back, but I've used this faithfully, and it was the only thing I used for my hair loss. Perhaps it was stress, hormones, etc that was the culprit in the 1st place, but I'm not going to stop using it to find out.

I used this product religiously, every second day, for 4 months, while I did notice that the hair I had became a little nicer, softer, stronger, etc. It did not make any new hair grow at all.

I am a 62 yr old woman who has been losing hair for a little over a year. I have used women's Rogaine for 8 months, a very little success--It made the hair was fall out more slowly. So about two months ago I moved up to Men's Rogaine and started using the Hair Pro.Today I had my hair cut and my hairdresser and I agree that my hair is thicker now than it was. Maybe it's the Rogaine, or maybe it's the Hair Pro, or the combination of the two. But I am relieved to have found a solution to a seemingly hopeless problem.

Very simple to use; not sure if it works yet because it takes a good while to regrow hair. I will be ordering another box though so that I can continue with applications.

This works. I can get 3 or more applications from each vial. Hair has grown back thicker and healthier - it takes a while.

Buyer beware: the web page for this product does not list alcohol among the ingredients, but the box the product comes in lists alcohol as the first ingredient. I would have to call this falsification on the part of the vendor. Lady of the Law is definitely correct.

I wish there had been a review of this product before I decided to purchase it online. The first, and therefore main ingredient is alcohol, which is very drying to the hair. The product boasts in claiming to stimulate the production of Sebum, however the serum does more drying to the hair than creating any secreation through oils. Please do not invest in this highly expensive, yet very adverse and ineffective product.

This product really seems to work best when combined with Rogaine foam (2x a day), along with saw palmetto, flaxseed oil, and biotin. Have been using for about 5 months now, and really notice a difference. Also seems to get rid of a few gray hairs that I had, but not sure if this product had anything to do with that. Recommended in combination with a few other things daily, and you will see some level of regrowth, and healthier hair.

This product is supposed to be very good quality and it does leave my hair feeling and looking nice. However I have been using it for two months and I cannot say it has improved anything on my hair loss. What did help was when I started taking kelp as a supplement. The texture is not what you would expect, it is more like liquid, like a lotion and it does not leather a lot or has a much of a fragance, but I don't mind these things. I would try other products of the same brand, but this one did not help much with the hair loss problem.

I don't know if these pills help or not.I'm 57,I'm not bald just thinning mostly in the frontal areas of my head.I don't stand in front of a mirror and count hairs.I think I'm just maintaining what I have.

I am a big believer in checking reviews on things before I buy, and I know it is very hard to find reviews on this product on the web, so I wanted to write a quick review to let people know of my findings... I am a 30 year old male and I would guess that I have been loosing my hair for a little over 5 years. My hair was getting pretty thin all over the top of my head, so I started taking NuHair Regrowth Tablets. I have been taking them for about a year now, and I can say for sure that it did stop more of my hair from falling out (it stopped my hair from thinning anymore), and I did see some new hair growth (very little new hair growth nothing very noticeable). Also, my hair was starting to turn gray (I had gray hairs here and there, not a ton but they were noticeable), and after only a month I saw most of my color come back to my hair. I would guess that after about 6 months I had all of my color back. I am giving this product 4 stars, because I think by itself it is just ok, but about 4 months ago I starting using Rogaine 5% solution, and my hair is growing back unbelievably. I will continue to use both products, because I believe that NuHair helped Rogaine grow my hair back faster. I am also going to write a review for Rogaine so look for that review too.

Having said that, the best approach to selecting the hair loss products suitable for you is probably to understand that these products fall into just a few broad categories or groups. Some products have Minoxidil, or finasteride, as their active ingredients, while other products explore other approaches.

Hair Loss Products Containing Minoxidil

One of the most popular products containing minoxidil today is Rogaine. Rogaine is an ointment that helps to dilate the blood vessels in your scalp and promote dramatic hair growth, especially in the crown of the head. It's not too effective on receding hairlines though. As mentioned earlier, Rogaine is already approved by the FDA.

Studies show that minoxidil can be effective at slowing or stopping hair loss, particularly in the crown of the head. It is not, however, an effective treatment for receding hairlines.

The major disadvantage of Rogaine is that any new hair growth you experience will disappear if you stop using the drug. Drugs with a high level of minoxidil have proven to be more effective than those with lower levels.

Loniten: Loniten is the prescription pill form of minoxidil, which was initially prescribed to treat high blood pressure. It was discovered that one of the side effects of the drug was hair growth. According to the drug’s manufacturer, approximately eight out of ten individuals experienced notable hair growth while on a regular dose of Loniten. This has lead to the prescription of Loniten as an effective hair loss treatment drug.

Loniten might also be responsible for increased water and salt retention in users. Other side effects include increased heart rates, some breathing difficulty and possible interactions with other drugs. You'd be smart to talk it over with a health professional before starting to use this or any other hair loss product.

Hair loss products containing Finasteride

Propecia was originally intended to treat enlarged prostrates in men. However as more and more users began to report an increase in hair growth, the product was developed to treat hair loss in men. Later on it was found to be just as effective for women, but with serious birth defects possible if taken by pre-menopausal women.

Note: Both minoxidil and finasteride must be used continually and any new hair you may have grown will fall out. If you want to learn even more about hair loss products, you could speak with an experienced hair loss specialist.

Other approaches to hair loss treatment

Homeopathy is a non-surgical, non-chemical approach to healing the body. Health practitioners who use homeopathy focus on your lifestyle, diet, and genetic history to fashion out treatments, or remedies for whatever ailment may be plaguing you and hair loss is no exception. Vegetables, herbs, some animal products are only part of the arsenal in homeopathy. Vitamins and the foods that contain them are also crucial.
